; Vanessa
: ''“Speed kills, but recoil stings.”''

== Overview ==
Vanessa is one of the two launch operators in '''DEAD: Doomsday Emergency Action Division'''.
She offers higher movement speed than Craig but suffers from greater recoil, rewarding aggressive and mobile playstyles.

== Lore ==
Before the apocalypse, Vanessa was a courier cyclist in London, infamous for threading traffic at breakneck speeds. Friends called her “The Human Pigeon” for her ability to get anywhere, anytime, with a mix of parkour and pedal power. Off the job, she split her nights between underground raves and rooftop runs.

When Hell broke loose, Vanessa didn’t run away — she ran through it. Witnesses recall her vaulting over buses and dropkicking an undead straight into a dustbin. D.E.A.D. scouts saw her natural agility and fearlessness, and quickly recruited her for rapid-response operations.

Though recoil control isn’t her strong suit, Vanessa’s mobility and daring tactics make her a deadly operator in the right hands.

== Stats ==
* **Max Speed:** 2.5
* **Recoil Mod:** 1.2
* **Taunt Sounds:** Currently placeholder (Craig’s lines reused)
* **Hurt Sounds:** 2 unique sounds

== Playstyle ==
Best for aggressive players who favour speed and flanking. Vanessa excels at repositioning quickly, but her higher recoil demands precise control.

== Trivia ==
* Still uses Craig’s voice lines as placeholders in early builds.
* Early prototypes named her “Runner” and “Swift.”
* Was inspired by real-life bike couriers the dev team saw racing traffic in London.
